"Saints have come from every corner of the country, some have come from Haridwar, some have come from Gujarat, some have come from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, some have come from Assam, some have come from Dev Bhoomi, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh," Acharya Pradmod said.

"...It is during this period that we have seen Vishwanath Dham flourishing in Kashi. During this period we are witnessing the rejuvenation of Kashi. It is during this period that we have seen the glory of Mahalok of Mahakaal. We have seen the development of Somnath, and the reconstruction of Kedar Valley.

"He (Acharya Pramod Krishnam) said that everyone has something to give but I have nothing, I can only express my feelings. Pramod ji, it is good that you did not give me anything, otherwise the times have changed in such a way that if in today's era, Sudama would give rice to Shri Krishna and the video would come out, a PIL would be filed in the Supreme Court and the judgment would come that something was given to Lord Krishna in corruption and Lord Krishna was doing corruption. It is better that you expressed your feelings and did not give anything..."
